Venezuela earthquake LIVE updates: Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, killing at least 32 people and injuring more than 700. Buildings collapsed across the capital Caracas, forcing residents into the streets. The twin tremors caused widespread panic as emergency teams rushed to rescue people trapped under rubble during the night.
What caused the twin earthquakes?
Venezuela sits on a highly active seismic zone where the Caribbean and South American tectonic plates meet. The sudden movement along fault lines triggered back-to-back earthquakes. Experts say such “doublet” quakes are rare but can occur when stress is released in rapid succession along nearby fault segments.
What rescue and global response is underway?
Authorities launched large-scale rescue operations, with international aid teams expected to arrive soon. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez thanked global leaders, including US President Donald Trump, who said the United States is ready to help. A tsunami warning issued after the quakes was later canceled. Several countries, including Brazil and El Salvador, offered support and condolences.
Survivors recalled terrifying moments as buildings shook violently, with many saying it was worse than previous quakes. Venezuela, located in a high-risk seismic region, has a history of deadly earthquakes. Authorities remain focused on rescue efforts as the nation faces one of its worst disasters in years.
